For Zhao Kuangzan, Liu Chengyou contributed his rare enthusiasm and patience in interpersonal communication, and did not hesitate to condescend to his dignity. In front of the accompanying ministers and internal and external generals, Zhao Kuangzan was given enough respect and honor.

Zhao Kuangzan stayed in Yongqing for three whole days, during these three days, Liu Chengyou continued to treat him with enthusiasm and courtesy, put his heart in his heart, and treated each other honestly.

Therefore, three days later, Zhao Kuangzan returned satisfied. On the situation in the north, and Youyan's position under the banner of the Han Dynasty, they had a heart-to-heart talk. From beginning to end, Liu Chengyou only adhered to one point, calming his heart and relieving his doubts. Even, on "Xingtou", Liu Chengyou directly said that he would let Zhao's Yongzhen Youyan.

Although Zhao Kuangzan is not very old, he is still less than thirty, but he is known to be wise and strategic, belongs to the posture of a master, is in a high position, and rarely arrogant. Even so, under Liu Chengyou's endless sugar-coated cannonballs, he was inevitably blinded and blinded. He has always been a bystander, and when he was in the middle of the game, in the face of such a big pie, King Yan was also a little difficult to hold himself.

Of course, it is not excluded that Zhao Kuangzan forbears and cooperates, after all, it is located between Han and Liao, and he is trying to survive in the cracks, no matter how he looks at it, Youyan's situation is a little embarrassing. On the Khitan side, there is still no hope in a short period of time, and only relying on the Han and being the key to the north gate of the Liu family is the way to survive.

The Han Dynasty has always had the intention of borrowing from Youzhou, and it is probably this point that is clear, and between hesitation and ambiguity, Zhao Kuangzan also maintains an expectation for the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and it is this expectation that allows him to stay in Yongqing as much as possible with peace of mind, and discuss the future status of Youyan with Liu Chengyou in the Han Dynasty.

When he resigned and returned to the north, Zhao Kuangzan's mood was exceptionally good, and the cold wind could not blow away the relaxed smile on the corner of his handsome face. This time, Yongqing drove it, but it didn't disappoint him, not to mention returning with a full load, it was also a great gain.

Even if you don't mention the chicken soup that Liu Chengyou poured him, the flashy rewards and temptation promises, and the return of the north with him, there is also a batch of royal goods and money. In addition, Liu Chengyou ordered a large number of food, clothing, ordnance, and medicinal materials from Yongqing and the surrounding warehouses...... Youzhou has been in a state of poverty since Zhao Kuangzan was in power, and its financial situation is even worse than that of the Han court. No amount of heartfelt chicken soup is as good as these tangible benefits.

Yongqingcang is more than half vacant, and Ma Quanyi is very painful about this. Probably under the influence of Liu Chengyou, he was used to living a poor life, and after Ma Quanyi took up the post of Yongqing, he had always been careful in his calculations, and he had accumulated some money and grain, and most of it was set aside at once, and he was naturally unhappy.

In order to appease the generals, Liu Chengyou allocated all the 300 war horses that Zhao Kuangzan went south to offer for military use.

There were some snowflakes in the sky, but they were not big enough to pass. With the sound of shouting, the carts and carts of supplies, escorted by the guards and people, slowly left the city and headed towards the Yanqi military camp on the left side of the city. After some handover, the brigade turned north.

Half an hour ago, Liu Chengyou had already made the final performance to Zhao Kuangzan, personally giving him wine and seeing him off, and said goodbye to him......

Standing on the top of the city wall, the north wind was blowing, and the sight was cast into the distance through the sparse snowflakes, where Zhao Kuangzan had already led the crowd to set off, and the brigade slowly returned, walking very steadily.

There were more than 1,000 riders who came, and there were more than 100 people when they returned. In the past two years, the governor of Youzhou has suffered from military disasters, everything is waiting to be done, and there is a shortage of officials in various places, so Liu Chengyou ordered the minister Li Tao to select a group of state officials nearby to support Yandi.

Remembering that Youzhou went far to Tokyo and the transportation was inconvenient, it was inevitable that the "misunderstanding" of the imperial court due to insufficient communication would occur again, Liu Chengyou set up a new Yan envoy in Youzhou, specializing in the contact between the imperial court and Youzhou, and sent a group of forbidden troops to act as guards.

Regarding Liu Chengyou's overly well-intentioned arrangement, Zhao Kuangzan hesitated a little, and finally agreed. left and right, just the hundreds of people, who thought that they were in his territory, couldn't make any waves. Of course, the people sent by Liu Chengyou are by no means simple, and Li Shaoyou, the accompanying martial arts envoy, was ordered to mix a hand in it.

"Your Majesty treats King Yan too kindly, I am afraid that he will be pampered and arrogant, and he will become more and more arbitrary, and sooner or later he will not take His Majesty and the court in his eyes!" Zhao Yanjin stood aside, subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes, and muttered.

Zhao Yanjin's words were not deliberately provocative, but the emotions in his tone were very obvious. Liu Chengyou turned his head and glanced at him when he heard the sound, and Zhao Yanjin had a little bruise left in the corners of his eyes and cheeks, revealing a somewhat embarrassed temperament.

As the pro-school of the Son of Heaven, the royal class is straight, and he can let him hang the lottery, which is obviously not an ordinary character. But things are not complicated, it happened yesterday, Zhao Sijuan, the love general of Zhao Kuangzan, the king of Yan, and his subordinates played in Yongqing City.

Zhao Yanjin led people to stop him, did not listen, had a big dispute, and wanted to arrest him to ask for the crime, which turned into a brawl, causing a lot of chaos. Moreover, Zhao Yanjin also lost the fight and was slapped in the face......

Although Zhao Yanjin learned some martial arts from his father Zhao Hui, compared with Zhao Sijuan, a fierce general on the battlefield, he was really not his enemy, and the result was very humiliating. This matter came to Liu Chengyou, who was praising "you and me" with Zhao Kuangzan, and although Liu Chengyou was angry in his heart, his reaction was very flat.

Zhao Yanjin was fined for half a year, and Zhao Siwan was handed over to Zhao Kuangzan to be disposed of without questioning. That's it, handle it with care.

"Still have a grudge in your heart?" Liu Chengyou's voice was steady, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Hearing this, he didn't dare to look sideways, subconsciously lowered his head, and said, "Don't you dare?" ”

"Then there is still resentment!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou's expression became relaxed, waved his hand, turned his head and casually asked Murong Yanzhao, who was waiting on the other side: "Brother Yanzhao, do you also think that I am too tolerant of King Yan?" ”

Murong Yanzhao's body was straight, full of heroism, he raised his hand and stroked his very clean beard, and replied calmly: "Youyan has a great help to the border defense of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty is the Lord of King Yan, if this is such a trivial matter, it is really unnecessary to have extraneous branches and doubt his heart!" However, the last general will look at it, General Yan is arrogant, and his blind tolerance is indeed easy to cause him to be arrogant and make him look down on the court! ”

On the side, listening to Murong Yanzhao's words, Zhao Yanjin couldn't help but cast a grateful gaze at him, and intuitively felt that he was speaking for himself.

Liu Chengyou sighed slightly, and spit out a mouthful of white vapor in his mouth: "I don't know, but bear the word, don't use small sections, and spoil the overall situation!" ”

In fact, Yan Bing's dominance also made Liu Chengyou suspicious. In particular, after communicating with the observation envoy Gao Fang, it was even more interesting. Judging from what he said, the military landlords in the Yan army really have no reverence for the imperial court, and Zhao Siwan is one of the representative figures.

The name Zhao Siwan, Liu Chengyou has an impression. At the beginning of the succession, Wang Jun, the deputy envoy of the privy council, led the army westward to resist the invasion of Mengshu, and Zhao Kuang, who was the commander of the Yongxing army at any time, sponsored the war and clashed with Wang Jun. Later, Zhao Kuangzan was ordered to go east and stay in Tokyo, Wang Jun also played Liu Chengyou, please kill Zhao Sijuan.

At that time, Liu Chengyou was bent on arranging Youyan, and Zhao Kuangzan went north to inherit the position of Zhao Yanshou, the former Yan king who was seriously ill, and did not follow Wang Jun's request, but broke Shu Village with Zhao Sijuan's death and promoted his military position.

That was the first time Liu Chengyou had heard the name Zhao Siwan, but this time in Yongqing, after seeing it in person, he thought about it carefully, Wang Jun's original invitation was not a simple retaliation......

For Zhao Sijuan, Liu Chengyou has given the opportunity to the high defense secret: find an opportunity to get rid of it!

......

After meeting with Zhao Kuangzan, Liu Chengyou's northern tour was almost over. The next day, the royal drive westward bound to Hengzhou. It was the place where he rose, and the impact of the Battle of Luancheng remained the same after continued publicity.

In Hengzhou, Liu Chengyou did not stay for too long, but only briefly explained to Zhang Yanwei, the festival keeper of the town, praised it, and returned to the south.

During this period, there was a small episode, Liu Chengyou sent someone to pass on the system in advance, and summoned Liu Chong, the king of Taiyuan who stayed in Beijing to meet Hengheng, but was politely resigned by Uncle Liu Huang with leg disease. In this regard, Liu Chengyou expressed his "understanding", greeted Wang Pu in a letter, and rewarded him with tonics......

On the occasion of the winter, braving the cold, the royal drive south to Tokyo, as before, civil and military officials, do not need to wait. and returned to the Han Palace, greeted the Empress Dowager, and met with the concubine, Liu Chengyou's "protracted" northern tour was completely over.
